Robinson will head to waivers after spending the first three years of his career in Seattle. The 25-year-old has recorded 44 tackles (26 solo) and five sacks in 30 games played but missed all of last season with a knee injury.

Seahawks' Alton Robinson: Making strides toward return
Rotowire
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll expressed optimism Monday that Robinson (knee) can return this season, saying that the linebacker is "running and moving" but still rehabbing, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Robinson sprained the PCL in his knee during Seattle's final preseason game and hasn't yet been able to take the field during the regular season. While Carroll's update Monday is encouraging, it doesn't suggest that Robinson is particularly close to being able to return to game action. When (and if) he is able to play, Robinson will likely work in a reserve role.

Seahawks' Alton Robinson: Suiting up for divisional showdown
Rotowire
Robinson is active for Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
Benson Mayowa (ankle) will be unable to go at the right defensive end spot, offering the rookie fifth-round draft choice his second start in three weeks. Robinson shined with his first starting opportunity Week 8 against the 49ers, tallying three total tackles along with his second sack of the 2020 campaign. Getting to Rams signal-caller Jared Goff will be challenging Sunday, with Los Angeles tied for the second-fewest QB sacks allowed per game this season (1.2).
